Washington, June 26.—In the senate
today the resolution of Mr. Hale (Me),
relative to restricting the privileges of
ex-senators on the floor of the senate
to those not interested in legislation and
claims, was referred Without comment
to the committee on rules.
The consideration of the wool sched-
ule was resumed at paragraph 370, re-
lating to aubusson, axminster, mo-
quette and chenille carpets, the com-
mittee rate being 62% cents per yard
and 40 per cent ad valorem.
Mr. Vest (Mo.) moved to strike out
the specific rate, leaving only the 40 per
cent ad valorem. The vote was 17—24,
four short of: a quorum. There Was
some delay in announcing the result
owing to the anxiety to secure a quo-
rum, but Mr. Vest insisted on a speedy
gnnouncement, remarking that the suf-
fering country could not'wait while
Republican senators mustered a quo—'
rum. When the want of a quorum was
announced, Mr. Vest derisively said,
“And this, with the country just wal—
lowing and dying while the bill waits."
“The senator is out of order,” inter-
posed Mr. Chandler jocularly.
“And so is the country,” added Mr.
Gray (Dem.). '
A call to the senate brought 52 sen—
ators to the chamber, and Mr. Vest’s
amendment was then rejected, 21—26.
Paragraph 371, saxony, wilton and
tournay velvet carpets was agreed to,
with an increase in the specific duty
from 60 to 62 cents per yard, the ad
valorem being left at 40 per cent.
Duty Increased on Brussels.
On paragraph 372 brussels carpet, fig-
ured or plain, the specific duty was in-
creased from 44 to 45 cents per square
yard, with 40 per cent ad valorem in
addition.
Mr. Vest criticised the rates, saying
it was the evident purpose to prohibit
the importation Of cheap mattings and
cheap carpets, thus making it impossi-
ble for a poor man to cover his floors
except with higher priced American
carpets.
Mr. Allison answered briefly that the
duties were imposed as a compensation
for the increased duties on raw wool.
Mr. Gray submitted an estimate that
for a room 16 feet square the tax on a
brussels carpet would be $24.30.
Mr. Vest’s amendment to strike out
the specific rate was rejected—23 to 28.
On paragraph 373 velvet tapestry.
velvet carpets, the specific duty was
increased from 40 to 41 per cent per
square yard. with 40 per cent ad valo-
rem in addition.
Mr. Vest again moved to strike out
the specific rate. This drew a brief but
emphatic protest from Mr. Tillman (S.
C.). He disliked to differ with the dis—
tinguished Democratic leader, he said,
“but,” he continued, “it's perfectly clear
v ’re beaten on every one of these
items. and. well—it"s a waste of time,
that’s all.”
Mr. Vcst’s amendment was rejected—
19 to 27.
In paragraph 374, tapestry brussels
carpet, the specific duty was increased
from 28 to 29 cents per square yard,
with 40 per cent ad valorem additional.
Mr. Vest renewed his amendment
,against the specific duty; rejected,
19—28.
Paragrap‘a 37., treble ingrain, three
ply and all chain venetian carpets, and
paragraph 376, wool Dutch and two ply
ingrain carpets, were agreed to as re-
ported.
Mr. ’\Vhite moved to strike out para-
graph 376 and insert the W'ilson rates.
Rejected.
Mr. Allison proposed a substitute for
paragraph 3761/2, providing that carpets
of every description woven whole for
rooms. including oriental, Berlin and
similar rugs, shall pay a duty of 10
cents per square foot and 40 per cent
ad valorem.
Vest’s Motion Again Beaten.
This led to extended debate. Mr.
White and Mr. Vest criticised the rates
as excessive. Mr. Allison explained
that oriental rugs were luxuries, some
of them costing $10,000. He also fired
a shot at the California senator (White)
by saying that while the rates might be
high, they were {at as high as the du-
ties on oranges and currants, the prod-
ucts of CalifOrnia. :.
Mr. Vest insisted that these rugs were
not luxuries, and had become the most
common of floor coverings.
A motion by Mr. Vest to strike out
the specific rates was rejected, 22—29.
Mr. Allison secured a new amend-
ment to paragraph 377, druggets, etc.,
striking out felt carpeting. He also
withdrew the committee changes to
paragraph 3.” designating the meaning
of the word “wool."
With thr' ‘ ’t'cepiions, all remaining
paragraphs Li. the wool schedule were
agreed to :" "coorted, and the senate
then entered upon the silk schedule.

Mr. Corbett liIusl: “lait.
Washington, June 26.—The senate
committee on privileges and elections
today considered briefly a report pre-
pared by Senator Hoar in the case of
Hon. H. W. Corbett, recommending
that Mr. Corbett be seated as a senator
from Oregon. The committee declined
to act upon the report beyond ordering
that it be printed for the use of the
committee, together with any views
which might be submitted by members
opposing Mr. Corbett. The result of
this proceeding will be to postpone fur—
ther consideration of, Mr. Corbett's
claims until the next session. There
was no formal expression of the com-
mittee. to this effect, but there is a gen-
eral understanding that such is the
case.
Peruvian Mission For Dudley.
Washington, June 26.——The president
today sent the nomination to the sen—
ate of Irving B. Dudley of California,_
to be envoy extraordinary and minis-
ter plenipotentiary to Peru.
ODNEY ISLAND HIS RUIN.
William Bryan’s Experience There Cost
Him a. Goodly Fortune.
New York, June 26.—William Bryan
has left Coney Island after living there
six years. When he went there, he was
credited with having a fortune of $100,-
000. Now he is a pauper, and the phy-
sicians of Flatbush hospital are trying
to aid him to recover from the lack of
food and proper care from which he
has suffered.
For three years after he went to
Coney Island no one had an easier time
than Bryan. He had nothing to do but
spend money, and the women of the
place helped him.
Then came the time when his checks
at the bank were no longer honored.
The people whom he had regarded as
his friends turned from him when his
money was gone, and he was forced to
look for work.
The only thing he could find to do
was to work as a waiter and messenger
in a saloon where he had spent much
of his fortune.
NO meals are served at the place, and
no one knew at first what was the mat-
ter with Bryan when he became sick.
A doctor was called and he said that
lack of. food was the main cause. Then
the authorities were notified, and Bryan
was taken away. '
THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Views of Mr. Depew—Likely to Be Adopt-
ed During DIcKinley’s Term.
London, June 26,—The Echo this aft-
ernoon publishes an interVQew with
Chauncey M. Depew, during which he
is quoted as expressing the belief that
the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain will be
law before the end of President Mc-
Kinley’s term of Office. Regarding the
anti-British feeling in the United
States, Mr. Depew remarked in this
interview: ‘
”Americans have a deep distrust of
the methods Of the British government
in regard to British land grabbers. I
admit that when they grab they give
the people better government, but Amer-
icans feel that they will not be content
with grabbing the land of the old world
and are going to try to grab the new
world. Anything of that kind done in
our hemisphere we want to do our-
selves. This suspicion Of the foreign
policy is the "reason for the failure of
the arbitration treaty, though Irish
opinion may have helped, for America
has deep sympathy for Ireland and home
rule, as it seems to be the natural de-
velopment Of the federal idea. A per-
manent tribunal‘for Great Britain and}
America must come. President Mc-
Kinley and the most thoughtful Amer-
icans are in favor of it.”
_Arrested For Forgery.
Ashland, Wis, June 2§.—A warrant
has been issued for the arrest of Robert
Heydlauff, chief engrossing clerk Of the
state senate, on a charge of forgery.
The discovery was made that county
orders, on which payment had been
made by County Treasurer Nelson,
were fraudulent. They had been raised
from small amounts to sums of consid—
erable size, one being increased from a
trifling figure to $3,081.24.

Glass Factories to Close Down.
Chicago, June 26.—_-All the manufac-
tories of window and flint glass, to-
gether with 95 per cent of the green
glass establishments in the country,
will shut down at midnight next
Wednesday, and it is not unlikely they
may remain closed for the longest pe-
riod in the history of the industry. The
window glass blowers and gatherers
have called a mass meeting, to be held
in Cleveland on July 6.
Gold Shipments to Europe.
New York, June 26.—Gold shipments
to Europe by the next steamers will
probably exceed $2,000,000. Today $1,-
300,000 in bars have been engaged at the
assay office, and it was said that it was
likely that more would go. For the
bars the shippers pay the government
a commission of one—tenth of 1 per cent.
These shipments will make a total for
one week of nearly $5,000,000.
A Staten Island Hotel Burned.
New York, June 26.—The Robin Hood
hotel, owned by George Connelly, and
situated on the Richmond road, Con-
cord, N. Y., was burned early today.
The family had a narrow escape from
suffocation. George Connelly, Jr., was
compelled to drop from a second story
window to save himself. The flames
had their origin in"a storeroom.
No Oil'er For Galtee More.
New York, June 26.—Marcus Daly, the ‘
well known horseman, who is in this
city today denies that he has made any
offer to Mr. Gubbins for Galtee More,
the winner of the English Derby and
2,000 guineas. It was stated in a dis-
patch frcm Chicago that Mr. Daly had
cable-:1 to Dublin offering Mr. Gubbins
5125.000 for this horse.

UNRBST IN INDIA.
Natives Denounce Joyous Celebrations
While Famine Stalks Abroad.
Bombay, June 25.~—The successive
shooting of British plague commission-
ers and other civil and military officers
by natives is regarded by the authorities
here with the gravest apprehension as
an unmistakable sign of revolt. In ad-
dition to the killing of Lieutenant
Ayerst at Ganeshkind on Tuesday and
the simultaneous shooting of Commis-
sioner Rand, who is in a critical condi—
tion, other attempts upon the lives of
Jfficers are réported. Civil .Qfficer Ross,
who was shot at Peshawur‘on Tuesday
night as he was returning from the ju-
bilee fetes, cannot recover from his
wounds. An attempt was made upon
the life of Lieutenant Williams last
evening as he was entering the mess-
room at Poonah.
Fortunately the shot of the assassin
didnot enter his body, but struck his
hand, the bones of which were shatter-
ed. The authorities have offered a re-
ward of 20,000 rupees for the arrest of
the natives who were concerned in the
shootings. The assassins track their
victims and shoot them after nightfall
from behind any Object that- hides them
from observation. The uropeans are
very uneasy. More shooti. g is expect-
ed, and no one feels safe.
The outrages are due to the discon-
tent of the Brahmans, who have circu-
lated thousands of leaflets denouncing
the jubilee. The circulars declare that
only demons would celebrate their con-
quests in a time of famine, plague and
earthquake. “An ancient and noble
race,” the leaflet adds, “is being killed
by a Christian government. Will no
one lift a. finger to check the excesses
of the English tyrants, who have been
riding roughshod over us for more than
a century?"
John D. Rockefeller Rides. .
John D. Rockefeller is an enthusias-
tic cyclist. He is laying out a cinder
path on his country estate, Boxwood.
PoCantico bills, for his own use. Mr.
Rockefeller sits erect on his wheel.
While the Standard Oil multimillion-
aire is at his estate he is much of the
time on his wheel. He takes long rides
and Often goes to Ardsley casino, of
which club he is a director, and tO his
brother William’s place at Scarboro.
His bicycling suit consists of mixed
cloth knickerbockers, brown leather leg-
gings, suck coat and a black alpine hat.
On his l1 illltlS he wears brown kid gloves.

his stable for the use of his family and
friends. He has everything, from a tan-
dem to a motocycle. The wheels are
kept in his riding ‘ academy, which he
uses on rainy days. This branch of the
Rockefeller family spends a large part
of its time in wheeling—Exchange.
